c and h in my own language (hungarian) and own in english
sounds something like
pots-cafΓ©-h-father-own (random words to illustrate the way the letters are pronounced)
that's surprisingly similarly to the german pronunciation of ch.
As far as I know most of our letters are the same.
I'm in the "c-h-own" team.
I say it like "pwn". As in, if I'm sitting here chown-ing your shit, you're pretty much pwned.
I deconstruct all commands when used in spoken word, so I pronounce it βchange ownershipβ. I also call ls, βlistβ and cd βchange directoryβ. For some reason this completely confuses and disorients everyone in the room.
Do you then read 'dd' as 'disk destoyer' to send chills down people's spines?
Gotta be verbs β Destroy Data.
I'd say change owner, but I'm with you otherwise. Although I do sometimes say change folder, old habits die hard.
I do, I tend to pronounce it rhyming with "clown"
So an /oun/ instead of an /Εn/? I hate it! :-D
Yeah the instant I wrote it I knew I'd get some comments lol. I know it's "ch" + "own" but somewhere along the way my brain started pronouncing it rhyming with "clown" rather than "own" lol :p
I do, but thatβs mostly because an old boss of mine did it, thought it was hilarious, and now I do too, because of the in joke
Chown, rhymes with bone.
Like "see-age-own"? I'd pronounce it "ch-(like in change)-own".
Yeah. Then I think we are doing the same thing.
Yes definitely as one word like ch as in change then own, same with chroot.
change own'uh
But chroot is schrude!
I do, but regarding pronunciations it's S-A-T-A not Saytuh and I'll die on that hill.
yes, you will. although i tend to use the german pronunciation, "Sahtah".
That'd be "Zahtah"
Ah yes I also call it βSahtahβ. Australian
I must have heard "saata" somewhere because that's my head-pronunciation, and it doesn't match how I say data (dayta). Not sure I've ever said it out loud.
Could be an "avoiding saying anything like 'Satan'" kind of thing, not because of religion, but more to avoid lame jokes.
well "saata" is closer to the pronounciation of satan in finnish, "saatana". Was it Linus you've heard?
Ha. No, I don't think it was Linus, but it might have been someone else European. Really hard to be sure at this point. SATA has been around for a while.
And I've unearthed a memory of the other, other pronunciation that I know I've heard: "serial ay-tee-ay". Why make it an acronym when you can say one of the words and then the initials of the others!
I pronounce it in swedish so that its just Satan without the -n.
Ooh, can we start the SCSI thing again?
Scuzzy! :D
Those are both wrong. Itβs Sat-uh.
I just realized I have never said this word out loud, but in my mind it sounds like "shown"
How about cmake?
where's the "N"?
Idk how this thingy on the screenshot works π€·
oh... it's a game where every day there's a 5 letter word you have to guess.
you start with a random word and it shows you if the letters are in its corect place (green), wrong place (yellow) or they don't occur at all (gray).
then you keep on guessing until you find the word or reach the limit.
Hmm, seems like it'd be interesting to automate :D
I also always start with "crane" π
crane and slipt... I even call it the crane-game π
Did it work?
nope
Bastards. You should create an issue or something
Hahaha I also tried this for the wordle today. Glad it's not just me.
It was a difficult wordle - I wouldn't have figured it our without my gf.
Spoiler: It is
Tap for spoiler
Cumin
yeah it was indeed difficult to guess
You have to provide the user, group and file name as the next three guesses, just trust me!
